In 1980, Tim began working at Dudek Florist Supply, Inc. with his father, Donovan Dudek, the founder of the company. He worked under his father for 10 years. During this time he learned the business and developed a desire to one day own the company himself. Tim became owner in 1990. His vision for the company brought a new concept of a delivery truck with a “shopping area”. This concept brings supplies to the customer for them to select directly off the delivery truck. Tim and his wife have six children. His three oldest children are married and all live in the area. He is also the proud “papa” to three grandchildren. Tim enjoys spending time with his family on the lake during the summer and snowmobiling during the winter.
About Dudek
Our History
Dudek Florist Supply, Inc. was founded in 1959 by Donovan Dudek. In 1990, Don’s son, Tim took over the business after working under his dad for 10 years. Through the years, we have supplied to florists, wedding shops, bakeries and other various businesses.
We sell a vast variety of vases – both glass and plastic, funeral script, corsage supplies, floral tape, design tools, delivery boxes and packaging, and much more. We supply everything a florist would need while striving to be competitive in pricing.
Our delivery routes branch from the Twin Cities to both northern and southern Minnesota and into western Wisconsin. We deliver to your store for just an $12.00 delivery charge depending on your location. We are also able to ship select items via our courier service to locations outside our delivery zones. Our customized delivery trucks for our “out of town” customers (as well as sometimes our “in town” customers) is a concept unique to Dudek Florist Supply, Inc. We have a divided truck that allows space for items ordered specifically for delivery and then another side that has items such as baskets, cards, and more for the customer to select personally upon delivery. Looking for a specific ribbon color? Take a look on the delivery truck to find exactly what you are looking for. We also have a warehouse in Bloomington, MN open to our customers.
We are thankful for each customer. At Dudek’s we seek to provide excellent customer service through our family based and owned business.
